The Truitt Times

Sunday, October 30, 2011

Our family decided to stay on in Branson for our family vacation this year. We spent a week relaxing and doing some fun things in between!! We always make sure and visit our favorite show, The Dutton's. They are an amazing family with more talent than is fair! :)

Andrea and Abagail Dutton. Andrea spent hours when she was on chemo treatments watching DVD's of the Duttons. She loves to get her picture taken every year with Abagail.

Troy and the boys love the challenge of putting huge puzzles together. Here they are working on a 1000 piece puzzle. They are gluing all the puzzles they put together so they can frame them and hang them in the basement.

Troy and the boys finally got to do something they have wanted to try for years....ziplines. They said it was one of the funnest things they have ever done!

Riding Go-Karts is another favorite thing....we finally found a track where Andrea was tall enough to drive her own car.

Troy and Alex were racing with Andrea

And the most entertaining thing to watch...a track of 3 and 4 year olds driving Go-karts! Every time Alex would look at us and try to wave, he would drive into the wall! :) ﻿

Family vacations are memories that will never be forgotten!!! We may not remember what we got for Christmas when we were a kid, but it is guaranteed you will always remember those special times and places you went and spent time with your family on vacation!!

At the end of September we met up in Branson with Robert and Penny, my dad and his wife Kim. We had a blast hanging out for 4 days together. We rented a big house that had a huge basement for the kids to hang out in. It was a great time to relax and visit!

We spent two days at Silver Dollar City. The kids love the rides ( Troy included with the kids...:) ) the adults love the shops and watching the crazy people!!

﻿Vacation memories just can't be replaced!!! If you think back and try to remember gifts you have been given....you probably can't remember to many things! Memories from vacations you have taken....they are never forgotten!!

This is a miscellaneous post of fun pictures I have taken this summer...

Travis and Alex

Andrea and Katie Snodgrass

Alex

Alex was so proud of his new rubber boots....with trains on them, how cool can you be?!!

This is how I found Alex one afternoon. I guess he was worn out from swimming and decided to get a snack but was just to worn out to even eat it!

Alex and Andrea made a new buddy at the Bible Methodist Camp we attended this summer. Miss Meagan Loper is one of the sweetest young ladies you will ever meet! She toted these two all over the place. Alex was heart broken when she had to leave and go home!!

My two beautiful girls!

Lauren was so excited when one of her best buddies, Katie Snodgrass got to pop in for a surprise visit this summer!
